Public Hearing: Oneka Prairie – Preliminary Plat and PUD Staff provided background on the requested Preliminary Plat and PUD applications for a residential development to be known as Oneka Prairie. The property is located at 16345 Everton Avenue North, directly to the north of the existing Oneka Place development. The preliminary plat includes 59 single- family residential lots and 7 outlots. The PUD General Plan will be for all 24.83 acres of the property and is proposed to be rezoned from Future Urban Service (FUS) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The property includes 3.92 acres of wetlands for a total buildable acreage of 20.28 acres. The net density for the development is 2.9 units per acre, meeting the density requirement for the land use classification. The applicant is requesting PUD flexibility on the minimum lot size, lot width, side yard setbacks, and the minimum right-of-way. Staff and the City Engineer will continue to work with the applicant to ensure quality design in their stormwater infiltration and reuse system. A trunk sanitary sewer lift station is proposed to be constructed at the northwest corner of the development, and will have the capacity to extend City sewer services to neighboring properties as they develop. The maintenance of the stormwater reuse system will be described in the development agreement as the responsibility of the development’s Homeowner’s Association. Generally, Staff is of the opinion that the proposal exceeds city standards, and that the applicant used creative and efficient methods for planning the site. Staff recommended approval of the preliminary plat and PUD for Oneka Prairie.
